Fiftieth Anniversary of Bladen
Union Church Appropriately
Celebrated Other Items.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Quite a large concourse of
people assembled at old Bladen
Union church on Sunday last to
celebrate the 50th anniversary
of the church, it being 50 years
since the church was first organ
ized. The first pastor was the
late Jordan W. Cobb, who serv
ed the church for 10 or more
years and did it faithfully. Part
of his pastorate was during the
civil war and just after. He
was so true to his appointments
he sometimes walked 15 to 20
miles to meet his people. His
worthy son, Col. Stephen Cobb,
was present and was asked to
tell us something of what
he knew, which he did in a
pleasant way. We all were glad
to meet him and listened with
keen interest to what he said
More Corn and Less Cotton An
April Fool's Party Personal
Mention.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Rev. R. E. Sentelle filled his
appointment here Saturday and
Sunday. He preached a fine ser
mon. We have had the good
fortune of securing his services
for this year. Among the many
that attended church from a dis
tance were Mr. Henry Jones and
Mrs. McNair, of Lumber Bridge;
Mr. and Mrs. L. Fisher, of Fair
mont; Messrs. Charlie Jones and
Mac. Johnson, the Misses John
ston and Mr. Nathan Allen, of
St. Paul's. t
Miss Emma Britt has returned
from Rutherfordton, where she
had been since the death of her
brother, Rev. D. C. Britt. Mr.
L. H. Townsend was in this vicin
ity Saturday. Messers: Charlie

of painting a ready roofing every

Shingle arc expensive, but they
are actually cheaper during ten
years than a ready roofing which
needs frequent painting to keep it
free from leaks.
Amirtite roofing costs less than
half as much as shingles and does
not need painting either. It is
easier to lay and will give years of1
long hard service without any care.
Amatite has a real mineral sur

painting. Once laid on j our roof
Shingles
your building has real protection.
Amatite is easier to lay than ever
this year. The liquid cement for
the laps does not require heating
before use. A three-inch smooth
margin i left at the edge of the
sheet so that the laps will be tight
fitting and easily cemented. The
large headed nails which we fur
nish save fussing with caps, which
rust easily.
Amatite is up to date.
